Good Tuesday Evening!

Goooooodddd Evening!!! I hope and pray that everyone is doing amazing and staying hydrated and happy during these heat-waves. It's been great for me! I like the heat. But two nights ago, I'll admit, IT WAS BRUTAL! Lol But anyway, HIIII!

It's been a while since I have written in my blog. I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted to talk about. Many things happen on a daily basis, but to chronicle your life takes time and effort that I wasn't ready to commit to. But, nonetheless, I keep coming back. This time, a few things in my life have manifested that I am extremely excited, eager and willing to write about on a frequent basis.

So the question stands, "What has Sheena been up to?" Well, I have gone on a mission to help others change their lives. When we help others we tend to use the talents we have that are obvious. But, I decided to go and dig deep and first start by helping myself with something I felt was very important.  Many have heard me speak about how big I was as a kid and young adult. Obviously, it has greatly affected who I am and how I respond to things. So in trying to learn about myself and how to fix the damage I created mentally, spiritually, and physically I fell in love with fitness. I decided it was time I take control of my body and how I wanted it to work for me. I decided to pursue a personal trainer certification, which ISSA (International Sports and Science Association) which I am currently working on obtaining.  You'd be surprised what amazing philosophical thoughts pop up when you study how the body actually functions with all its systems, and the reliance of one to the other. It's really interesting and I thought to myself, "How can I get others interested in what it is I know and am learning about the vehicle (body) in which they live?" Keep coming back to read this blog and you will see.

At the beginning of this month, I became a Independent Team Beachbody Coach. For those of you who do not know the Beachbody company, maybe you will know their products. Have you heard of P90X, Insanity, TurboFire, TurboJam, Slim in 6, Brazilian Butt Lift? If you have heard of ANY of these workout, maybe on a late night informercial, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't, let me introduce you to the opportunity that can change your life.

Some people saw the TRANSFORM BURN & BUILD video I put up last month on Facebook about my evolution from child to adult. In that video, I gave a snippet of a workout. I was doing TurboFire! I was and still am so excited by this program because my mentor is the creator of it. Chalene Johnson is incredible! I love her and I will wave her flag until the end. She, like Tony Horton (P90X), Shaun T (Insanity) and the rest of the Beachbody family, have dedicated their live to helping educate people on health and wellness and what it really means to be fit. But let's get something straight. These people do NOT play. They may make it fun, but transforming your image to what your imagination see, requires hard work and dedication. I hope you heard that loud and clear!

My best friend knew that I was trying to complete P90X but I was way too weak for the strength and conditioning workouts. I would start and stop, start and stop. I got so frustrated that I just stopped. But  Valerie called me to her house and told me she found something for me to try. She then showed me the video advertisement for Turbofire. I freaked out and the rest is history! I am currently on Day 58. A lot of people started connecting with me to see if these Beachbody products really work. Um... DUH!!! But there is a trick. Like their mantra say, "Decide. Commit. Succeed." you must do those things to gain the results you want. That is why, when I was offered the opportunity to become a Independent Team Beachbody Coach, I jumped on it. I wanted to help people get the best results for their hard effort. I wanted people to learn how to properly eat, how to really exercise, what vitamins and minerals to take, what protein shakes would do them right, etc. And plus, it fell right in line with my goal of becoming a personal trainer. We all need to take care of ourselves and Beachbody provided me with a way to share an important concept (health and wellness), back by amazing products.

Last night, my besties, Valerie and Shanise,  and I did some product testing on meal replacement shakes. My product of choice was Shakeology. Shanise decided to bring her product, Vega. Now, let me just put this out there. Both Shanise and I enjoy HEALTH! Period. So yes, we have both tasted some.... interesting things in our health food adventures. But, I realized that the main reason people won't get healthy until its too late is because  the majority of this stuff tastes NASTY! See, someone like me can get over it all in the name of health. But, do I really need to suffer? Maybe the anti-healthy people have a point! lol But no, in all seriousness,  the only way these products could be properly tested is if a "kid" was there. Hence, Valerie's point of view. LOL! She definitely has kid taste buds. Check out the video below to see our review =^D

Shakeology is cool but, don't take our word for it. Here's more info on Shakeology! I approve!

If you are interested in the Ninja Blender, Click Here. You pick from any of these and it will do you just fine!

So tonight, I will be taking a Muay Thai class. This should be fun and I will let you know how it goes. For those who don't know what Muay Thai is, its a martial art that comes from Thailand. It is known as the Art of Eight Limbs because it uses (2) punches, (2) kicks, (2) elbows, and (2) knee strikes.  It has a boxing feel to it. So, I may have just found my new love. 
Also, this coming August, I will be planning a trip to Spa Castle. A group announcement will be made with all the information and all you have to do is let me know if you are coming. The dates are still TBA. We will know shortly what day that event will happen. One of my goals is to educate you on the body and its many untapped healing powers and uses. You are not a meat suit that is walking around. You are vibrant and LIVE! Massages are important and it will be discussed later on this month on this blog site.
Come back regularly and check out the Events page to see what we are doing and when. We are gonna rock this nation with a new outlook on life. Health does not have to be nasty tasting. You can change your life once you learn to change your mind. Advice of the Day: Try new things. Be open to new experiences even if no one else will join you. there will always be someone who will want to learn from you and with you. 
Well, its time for me to leave and get ready to meet my friends for sushi and a round of kicking each others butts! I will talk to you tomorrow until then. SMILE!!!
